2 months agoThe thing these articles are doing (which sensationalist articles always do) is taking a few people’s opinions and spreading it across the entire blanket “they” of whatever opposite side the article references. It appeals to people because its easier for people to generalize the whole group than to point to a niche section.
This one in particular takes a few people who are interested in the secretary of the Navy and says they’re upset at the choice, which they might be, and spins it into “They’re all upset at what their leader did.”
You can find this rhetoric all over the political spectrum, whether it’s copium or relishing. Take it with a grain of salt.
You are not immune to propaganda.
Not only that but he tweeted something around 100 times that day. Someone got their “special medicine” and went on a bender confident they knew everything. And now they’ve come down and they’re confident they still do but can’t admit they were off their gourd for a day. Like a typical narcissist yes.
